When the jumper was used from battery to coil it eliminated any feed problem for the Pertronix and the coil, it still did not start. I see what you mean about not seeing the drop unless points closed. I'm betting/hoping on timing/dizzy plug wires. Last heard from Jimmy three hours ago.

EDIT: It fluctuated between 10.7-11 while cranking. This is with Pertronix. It would have to start, key springs back to on, to allow resisted voltage to take over.
